WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Wilmington Police say a Trinity man suspected of scamming multiple mobile phone stores has turned himself into police.

Earlier today WPD got an issue for James Terry. Investigators accuse Terry of posing as a pastor of various area churches and obtaining cell phones from the stores and charging them to a business account. The warrant issued for Terry, 47, was for the possession of stolen goods.

Terry is suspected of pulling this scam in other jurisdictions.

Late this afternoon WPD said Terry had turned himself in.
